Report: Fsu Sees No Rules Broken

December 05, 1999|By Stephen Nidetz.

Florida State officials took no action last summer after learning junior defensive end Roland Seymour trained with a personal trainer at no charge, a potential violation of NCAA rules, the Houston Chronicle reported Saturday.

Although the arrangement could have been viewed as a violation of NCAA rules and could have caused Florida State to declare Seymour ineligible, Bob Minnix, FSU associate athletic director for compliance, said his investigation led him to believe no such action was warranted.
